5.0 out of 5 stars VOCAL MIRACLE!, January 29, 2004
By 
Emma de Soleil "I moved to the UK for another... (On a holiday In Ibiza, then back to the UK for studies) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rossini: Armida (Audio CD)
This is perhaps the greatest display of belcanto di bravura ever recorded. Callas goes up to an F in alto, and a ROCK-SOLID one! The allure of the enchantress Armida is brought to life like never before and never after. A TOP-NIGHT for Callas who did her greatest, most astonishing belcanto singing here, an opera not even Sutherland attempted to sing! To comprehend why Callas is the queen of belcanto, listen to her "D'Amore Al Dolce Impero"!!! People say Callas wasn't ideal for Belcanto? This recording proves that this is anything but true! ENJOY THE PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Callas Performance, July 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Rossini: Armida (Audio CD)
This Armida stems from the early fifties, when Rossini revival was only at its beginning. Therefore most of the singers do not have the style or coloratura ability we'd expect from modern Rossini interpreters. Futhermore, the score is heavily cut, and a better part of the famous trio for three tenors is missing (I am not sure whether this is due to the original tape or the Opera d'Oro issue). Finally, the sound is rather awful; it seems to get worse towards the end. But, this being said, this is still an essential release for any of Callas fans. She is here caught at the height of her powers, and both dramatically and vocally she will probably never be matched in this role. She throws high Ds, E-flats and even a high F (if I pitched it correctly) and "D'amore il dolce impero" is far more elaborately decorated than her later concert performance of this aria. In any case, if you can tolerate horrible sound and inadequate supporting cast, you will hear the greatest Armida ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goddess of belcanto!, June 16, 2004
This review is from: Rossini: Armida (Audio CD)
Callas' Armida is the belcanto-miracle of the century. La Divina outshines them all, how amazing! Coloratura, acuti, arpeggios, roulades, scales are done to perfection. And the interpretation is BLAZING, the phrasing and diction crystal-clear and idiomatic. The only ARMIDA to buy!
